    $11.50s a bit steep...I pay $7.50 for the same thing here in my area of Sydney. The crunch of the crackle did sound very "tender" though. 🤤

      @@matthewalvarez48 choose a cut of pork with a fat cap of about 1 centimetre thick, score the skin in a checker pattern through the fat cap but not so deep as to cut into the flesh. Here in South Australia we have spiced vinegar available in most stores, not sure about other states but any good quality vinegar works.
      Drizzle some vinegar over the skin and massage it in and sprinkle liberally with salt of your choice and massage it in to all the scored skin and fat cap.
      Roast in the oven on a medium to high temperature until done and do not baste the skin... The crackling should be crispy but not tough, kinda like the texture of prawn crackers.
      Hope this helps.

    Looks nice, but after eating these from different Vietnamese bakeries in Sydney and the south coast, it doesn’t have as many ingredients and is too expensive.
    Our local sells them with:
    - Crusty bread roll
    - Pork or chicken
    - lettuce
    - carrot
    - cucumber
    - marinated onions
    - tomato
    - spring onions
    - mayo
    - pate
    - home made garlic soy sauce
    And of course hold the evil weed (coriander)
    All for $6.50.
    But all are fresh, tasty and you feel healthier after eating them, especially with a $2 bottle of water.
    Small bakeries selling healthy meals for $8.50 puts Maccas to shame!

    I am one of those who hates Coriander aka Cilantro leaves,though I love the dry spice.The greens smell "buggy''to me.Bit of trivia:birds can't taste the heat of chilis,they gobble wild ones down and spread the seeds.The heat defends against mammals like rodents or us,who eat seeds not just the pulp.
